Using the litter that we collected on our litter pick, Year 5 created a piece of artwork. They were provided with a stencil of an animal, to create an image of it. The children then used the litter to create a collage effect.

Year 5 have been taking part in an Environment Science and Art project, led by the Inspiration Federation. The children have learnt about the negative impact of litter upon local wildlife and the environment and also the importance of recycling. After researching the negative impact and making awareness posters, the children visited a local green space and collected litter. After our litter pick we recorded it on a community litter picking website.

To kickstart the new academic year, the school took part in the Take One Picture scheme. This year, the painting was Canaletto's 'A Regatta on the Grand Canal'. Year 5 decided to research the history behind Venetian masks, before designing and creating their very own. We learned how to use paper mache to strengthen our masks. We are thrilled with the finished results!

Year 5 had the opportunity to handle some Tudor replica items, to support us in our learning of what life was like during the Tudor era. First, we observed and handled the artefacts and predicted what each item was, who may have used it and what its purpose was, before learning the factual information. We commented on how in today's world, there is no need for some of the objects, such as pomanders and pattens.

Year 5 were extremely fortunate to visit Henry VIII'S palace, Hampton Court. Whilst there, we were able to experience first-hand what it felt like to walk the cobbled pathways of this magnificent Tudor palace. We were welcomed by Lady Constance, who led our first workshop. This provided us with the opportunity to observe and handle primary sources of evidence, whilst investigating a key question linked to Henry VIII. The second workshop helped immerse us in the role of those who worked in the kitchen and we learned what foods were eaten during the Tudor times. Some really took us by surprise! It was a fantastic trip and was a great hook to lead us into learning more about the Tudor dynasty.
